❖Store your discs in their original containers to protect them from scratches and keep them clean.

❖Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.

❖Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface of a compact disc can prevent the drive from reading the data properly.

❖Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold.

❖To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in the drive.
